Jumping on the FB hate train

  I know how you feel. It makes sense that many of the women I know would be getting pregnant since we're all in prime childbearing age, but every time I see a pregnancy announcement it definitely is like a little kick in the gut. What I dislike even more than that, is a friend who is now in her 37th week and has complained on FB constantly about her pregnancy. I feel like saying, "You know, there are so many women who can't even get pregnant and would give anything to be achy/tired/sick due to pregnancy and all you can do is complain about it." It drives me insane.

  How about the IRL hate train? (I know, makes me even more bitter!) but my *younger* bro and his (very young) girlfriend are expecting. Let's also note they were dating 3months when she got KU'd so that means they'll have a baby before they are even together a 1yr. **head-desk** Anyways, i've been working through my issues on this and since i love my bro i've been mostly ok and trying not to put my baggage on the situation but this AM i get to work to see a text with a u/s picture from them. It just made my I WANT A BABY - WHY NOT ME - reflex kick in hardcore. 

  sigh.  

  Me: 31yrs old. In same/sex relationship for 12years
  I'm carrying & we are using anonymous donor sperm
  In March 2012 diagnosed with Diminished Ovarian Reserve (AMH = O.67) & IVF recommended

  FET (2 5dt embryos) on 11/5/12= BFP! Beta #1=58; Beta #2=98, Beta #3=373. First u/s on 11/28/12 = 1 sac with fetal pole & heartbeat! Next u/s = 12/12/12

  TTC History
  IVF#1 (Antagonist Protocol) Sept 2012 = BFN
  10R; 8F; 4 Day5 GradeA embryos. Put back 2, froze 2.
  12 IUIs (in 9 cycles) since March 2011:
  6 unmedicated/unmonitored = BFNs
  3 with Clomid/Trigger/monitoring/progesterone = BFNs

  I really hope you get to join them soon, too.

  I've restricted myself from FB indefinitely, and have held to it for 5 days - I'm proud of myself!  I just couldn't take seeing an announcement nearly every time I logged in, and decided it was self-destructive.  I feel bitter, but it really is very liberating.

  I'll join you on the train.  However, my experience was a little different.  I was checking FB on my phone, so I didn't look closely, but wouldn't assume anyone would post a picture of a Clearblue Easy Digi for any reason other than sharing they're preg.  Which is poor taste IMO, but that's beside the point.  However, I couldn't decide which made me more sick - that she would post it minutes after taking it, or the fact that she just recently left her husband and is living with her parents with her 5 yo and constanly posting pics of her and her new beau.  His reply to the pic "WTF".  Ugh.  But later when I was ranting ot MH about it, I went to show him the picture and noticed it said "just kidding" on the test instead of "pregnant". 

  Still bad taste no matter how it's spun.

  All of my much younger cousins are single and pregnant and yes I'm happy for them but it still does hurt.  I avoid facebook now and maybe chat with friends and family thru messages only.

  I was just thinking about posting my first FB vent today, lol. One of my friends keeps posting weekly videos of her finding the baby's heartbeat on their home doppler. The first time she posted I clicked on it and it was 5 minutes long. I thought it was a bit much for listening to a heart beat, IMO. However, every week without fail their is a new video and I scroll right on by. I have to say it is the first time I have ever seen someone post a video of the doppler.
